		<title>Touching Mobile Screens with All Ten Fingers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got done with updating the case study on mobile advertising for the Newspaper Association of America &#8212; I guess I shouldn&#8217;t be so surprised that market conditions had changed so very much since mid-2008.&#160; You always hear that &#8220;Internet years are like dog years,&#8221; but man, did that ever hold true. 
Just a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mobile 2D Barcode Explanation from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Eric Schwartzel at the Post-Gazette for sending me this great, funny video.&#160; The P-G has rolled out 2D barcodes (aka QR codes) in their print product that are designed to be used by smartphones. 

I&#8217;m all in favor of videos like this, that guide our readers/users through the process of learning what 2D [...]]]></description>

		<title>Epic Beard Man: Unconventional Web-based Documentaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not sure what this all means &#8211; it&#8217;s a fight on an Oakland transit bus that has morphed into something of an online cultural phenomenon, now chronicled by this two-part documentary. 
Part 1: 
   
Part 2: 
   
The &#8220;star&#8221; of the show is Thomas Bruso, now known as &#8220;Epic Beard Man.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad Sign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a day in which prosecuters announced that they had established a DNA link between the Trailside Killer and an &#8220;unsub&#8221;, I saw this sign:
Single women, walking alone through the deep, dark Redwood forests, are starting to disappear again&#8230;

		<title>Martin Bosworth is gone, and the world is a little less fun &amp; bright</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Martin was also tormented by self-doubt, but he didn't let that stop him from writing about the things that he cared deeply about; the world of comic books, heavy-metal music and cheesy sci-fi movies that are the Nerdcore Holy Trinity frequently appeared on his blog, and to read his reviews was to feel as though you were hanging out on a friend's couch, relaxed and free to express your deeply held beliefs that Liam Neeson used the same fighting moves in "Taken" that he learned all those years ago on "Krull." ]]></description>

		<title>The Creative Class War: FIrst Casualties and Collateral Damage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This started as a long comment in response to Martin Bosworth&#8217;s well-sourced screed on Boztopia
&#8230;but I realized about 1/2 way through that the points I wanted to make were starting to get a little elaborate for just the &#8220;Comment&#8221; space &#8211; and besides, I have far too much experience (and distrust of) the commenting features [...]]]></description>

		<title>Newspapers to TV, Movies: &#8220;We arrived in separate ships, but we&#8217;re in the same boat now&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Signs were there that DVD sales were about to implode; industry ignored all warnings
To anyone in the newspaper industry, the parallels are eerie. The disruptive technology is introduced, and people with the ability to look beyond this quarter&#8217;s P&#38;L statement say, &#8220;Oh-oh. Something&#8217;s in the wind. We gotta take a look at this, maybe start [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bookworms love the new Nook e-reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Setting a couple of bookworms loose to play with the next generation e-readers is like setting Augustus Gloop loose in the Wonka Chocolate factory. 
The first thing that strikes you about the Nook is how much *faster* it is than the Kindle.  And Janine loved the touchscreen. More video to come on Digital Family. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headless Mannequin in Topless Dumpster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living next to a prop house, every once in a while you glance over and do a spit-take. They had just chucked what looked like a limp woman&#8217;s body out of the back of a semi.
Wondering if the frustrated Evil Elves in the fabrication shop had finally snapped and gone Jeffrey Dahmer, I cautiously wandered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Normal: Denial
Since the first utterance of the phrase &#8220;green shoots,&#8221; there have been attempts to gaze into the crystal ball, to predict what things are going to be like once we get out of the recession/depression-lite. 
The most recent is a long Newsweek piece on how the psychological effects of being a young [...]]]></description>
